Of course, 1663 was close to the peak of
the "Little Ice Age" which, though it may not have been a world-wide
phenomenon, was certainly a very chilly period in NE Europe.

That was supposed to read "NW Europe" of course.

Doesn't the latest evidence suggest that the Little Ice Age was a
global event ?


I thought that I had recently read somewhere that it is now supposed to
have mainly affected areas around the North Atlantic (Europe, Iceland,
Greenland, parts of North America), and to have been far less severe in
Asia and the Southern Hemisphere. Unfortunately I can't remember where I
read it.
